New build mastic in Etteridge, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Etteridge, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
New build mastic around Etteridge
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Etteridge is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
Around Etteridge, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
How to get a quote

Do you need new build mastic in Etteridge?
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
For new homes near Newtonmore station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
